Ephesians 2:8-9 "For by grace you have been saved through faith and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast"

We met with Isaac and his sister today and told them we would take Isaac.To say they were happy is an understatement! The sister said after I had told
she and Isaac to go home and pray about the situation that Isaac prayed very
hard and was crying. This really puts it all in perspective, hey? This just
goes to show that when these kids are given a chance, they thrive.Isaac wants
to be here which is important. He is a little reserved and at times seems sad
but if you coax him, he has a great smile. I guess I would be sad too if I had
gone through what he has at such a young age. Derek is thriving in the school.
He has made friends and seems very happy. Dixon, the older boy, told Joshephat
that he was amazed at the way God is providing for them all and that they are so
grateful.

With the money you sent we were able to buy mattresses, pillows,
blankets, personal things like toothbrushes, a rug and cushions for the couch.
We placed an order for bunk beds. This is going to be life-changing for these
boys and a blessing. You can't help but give
thanks when you see such overwhelming positive changes in these boys
lives.
I managed to take some pics with my broken camcorder. Without a
screen I can't tell what menu is on the screen so I just kept pointing and
shooting hoping to get something. I took about 150 shots and all that came out
was 10.

We will continue to look to God to provide.

As missionaries we consider cross-cultural missions to be a thrilling expedition, full of challenges and discoveries. Our travels take us to some amazing places and people. As we leave our "base camp" we are blessed to ‘forge streams’ of new relationships and ‘climb mountains’ with those who survive solely on hope. It's a wonderful adventure. Please join us. For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named. That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man. Ephesians 3:14-16, the apostle Paul

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain
